Overview

Students from the Economics program from Columbia University learn to use the basic economic tools and master two specialized fields. Faculty-student weekly workshops play a key role, providing a forum for new ideas and a free exchange and an opportunity for keeping abreast of the most current issues and research in the field.

Workshops are offered in macro/monetary economics, econometrics, labor/applied micro, international economics, economic theory, industrial organization and strategy and development/environment.

Students also participate in weekly colloquia and present their own research. Colloquia are offered in micro theory, applied micro, macro, international trade, industrial organization, econometrics, development, and political economy.

Fellowships

Fellowships are awarded in recognition of academic achievement and in expectation of scholarly success. Teaching and research experience are considered an important aspect of the training of graduate students. Thus, graduate fellowships include some teaching and research apprenticeship.
